Default Thread Sizes

Hi, I done a search and couldnt find an answer.

Does anyone know what the thread sizes are for a XR6T.

I want to put in aftermarket Boost and Oil Pressure guages and want to make sure I get the proper threads for the sender units.

If you read it correctly - I said all you guys - that is reference to everyone except me.
If I knew the size why would I be asking for it ??

Why not measure the diameter and the pitch, then you will know for yourself? All you need is a vernier or micrometer and pitch gauges. Look the results up in tables on the web. It's probably BSP and probably tapered, but it may also be NPT.

You could also take the original plug/gauge/sender out and take it to a hydraulic shop. They will know what it is.
